Directions

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cider vinegar, and blue cheese; set aside.

In a pie plate or shallow dish, combine flour, breadcrumbs, cayenne, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites and 1 tablespoon of the red pepper sauce.

Dip chicken tenders in egg mixture, then in flour mixture to coat.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken and cook, stirring often, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Add remaining oil to pan and cook the rest of the chicken.

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, heat remaining hot sauce and butter until melted; add cooked chicken to bowl, tossing to coat. Serve with dressing and celery and carrot sticks.
